[1000mp] Noise Blanker Mod for original FT-1000mp

[Graeme. G4CKH]

Hi Augie/Gus ?
I have done the NB mod to my original 1000mp, i used the instructions per
the 1000D (w8ji)
The circuit boards are pretty much the same, to help me i managed to obtain
photocopies of "physical" cicuit board layouts from Yaesu UK.. FREE.
I'm not sure but i belive there are photographic instructions on the web ??
Some people say that the NB mod is not nessessary if you keep the front
panel control knob fully anticlockwise !

Hope you manage the mods ok ...........de .........Graeme.
